Some everyday habits may harm your teeth. Chewing ice can create tiny cracks in your enamel and brushing immediately after eating (especially acidic foods) can wear enamel down. Mouth breathing may reduce saliva flow, causing gum issues and teeth decay. Nighttime snacking can also lead to cavities if food particles and bacteria are allowed to linger until morning.
